- What's it like, when you were called to play a "girl" of James Bond? What about your role would be desirable to know first?
"First of all, I was not invited. Many years in France, I was just fighting for my career as an actress. I went to Los Angeles and learned that six months in order to participate in casting for James Bond film. Already returned to Paris, I attempted via the Internet, through Facebook advertising all the films in which shot before. In the end, I managed to get e-mail from the casting director, and send him all my records. That's how it all started. First audition she spent and the second was held in London with Sam Mendes, and the third - with Daniel Craig. "
- Can you tell me anything about your character?
"Well, for my character, we use the definition of "glamorous and mysterious", the mysterious - it is very important because I want to create an image of a girl that can not be put into an ordinary, banal environment. For example, the role of Bond, Daniel has used many colors, which sometimes contrasted with each other: it was good, tough and vulnerable at the same time, with very strong physically. And all these qualities were the components of his image on the screen. That very same I want for my heroine. "Mysterious" - because she makes non-obvious actions. "
- Is there something special about the "girl" of James Bond, that you would like to change, becoming a "girl" James Bond?
"As I said, Daniel, because of his individuality, has created a contemporary James Bond, and I intend to do this with my heroine. I see her as unique personality in a unique film, it is more of" Bond girl. "So I really wanted to work on the character and create someone charismatic and unpredictable on the screen. Someone more than just a "girl" of Bond than a woman he has to protect. "
- How would you describe your relationship with Bond?
"I'm afraid I can not tell you much." (Laughs)
- At least you can tell which part of the history of the two of you meet, or at least, where?
"In a few places. I'm afraid I can not say anything."
- How did you work with Sam Mendes?
"It really creates a passion, and it's interesting, because I always instinctively knew and was confident that the talent goes hand in hand with restraint and simplicity, and he - the very embodiment of these qualities. For me it is incredibly important, because Sam is so modest and easy to communicate that you can relax and play as an actor as well. All has been very simple, so for me - it is an unforgettable experience. "
- Have you had a lot of action scenes?
"It was a little."
- You took some training?
"No, because what I had to do was not dangerous. But I asked to teach me to shoot a weapon, because I really think that in order to create an image of my character it is necessary, as it gives a sense of power, increases the concentration of attention so, yes, it turns out that I trained. "
- Playing modern "girl" of Bond, have you drew inspiration from the images of the old "girls" of Bond?
"Before we start shooting, I reviewed a bunch of James Bond films to revive the memory and filled with the spirit of the franchise. As for the old "girls" of Bond, I pay more attention to them, as predicted by the definition: a good, vile, neurotic, dangerous. I drew inspiration from the general terms and tried to create my own image".
- You mentioned the modern image of the current Bond. How exactly does Daniel Craig effect on the 007?
"Multifaceted character, which gives Daniel Bond, is very interesting. By the way, I'm a big fan of Christopher Walken. He's my favorite actor, because I think he has incredible charisma. There is something animal, something mystical in him. He combines both male and female, plus, of course, talent. And all this gives rise to a mixture of something mysterious, that I want to watch. Daniel is really good, because he uses different shades of his character: vulnerability, strength, and pressure; at times he resembles a robot, but he is sociable, sensible, with a sense of humor".
- Have you had a lot of common scenes with Javier Bardem?
"Yes."
- Tell us how is it work with him? He is very deep actor.
"Yes, very deep and charismatic, and I appreciate this opportunity to be with him, with other powerful actors on the same site, because it is a rare chance. It was hard and fun to work with him in public venues."
- Did you know that from the beginning of a campaign to promote the film, much of your life change?
"Yes, I understand that. Little by little, now I notice that people perceived me differently, although I myself remained the same. It's amazing, and because of this, I realize that something has changed. But this is cool at the same time, because I was not here for fun, not suddenly. It was a long way over the years that I possessed the art, was very normal and peaceful manner. It's true. "
